Default Holley Hydramat Fuel Reservoir

This is an interesting and effective concept that could save some guys money especially with the classic car crowd. I hope it works and is affordable.

Looks cheaper, easier, and maybe even better than sumping your tank, or the Aeromotive Phantom system. Just hose clamp a Walbo to your stock fuel pick up and stick one of these fancey filter sock on it, I don't see how it could be any easier.

X2. Just hope it's priced so that it's still a viable option.

I'd love to spill the beans on this one for you guys, but I unfortunately don't know much more about it then you guys do at the moment. The development and release is being handled by a specific team of individuals here at Holley as all projects we do are. My specific realm of design and development responsibility is exhaust products and LS swap mounting components, so there's quite a few other things that get worked on that I need to inquire about from someone else to find out their details. I'll pass on a note of your interest to the folks at the top of the food chain here and see if I can get someone with more direct knowledge about the subject to make a post here.

Bumping this.

I see the expected availability of the 30x14 square mat is listed as feb 15, so I'm hoping we'll be seeing something any time now.

I did notice the following excerpt from the Holley website



"12-924 not compatible with Diesel fuel, Methanol or oils. Other part numbers available soon with Methanol compatibility."

I wonder if it's ethanol (e10 pump gas/E85) compatible?

If it's not at least E10 safe, almost nobody will be able to use it.

Isn't methanol more corrosive than ethanol? They do have different properties.

Sorry. Just noticed the edit.

I asked them the ethanol question, and an ETA. This was the response I got.

This is like being a kid and waiting to open presents when you know there is something really cool with your name on it. This little product could save many of us (me being one, but potentially anyone doing an EFI swap in a non EFI vehicle) a LOT of trouble.

HA HA HA HA HA HA, no way. Most of the articles I was reading said they were shooting for a $200-300 price point... Perhaps the "street car" (X shape?) will be cheaper as it would use less material? I'll go a different route if this price trend carries into the different shapes.
